Somebody’s Garden
The rose is made of little frills The lily is a cup;
And goblets are the daffodils
From which the fairies sup.
The daisy is a darling sum,
So small and round and sweet;
The sunflower is a bigger one,
Though never half so neat.
It sounds mysterious, and yet
You really can’t deny
The lovely little violet
Was once a piece of sky.
The orchids, that I may not touch,
Are curious, like shells;
The hyacinths remind me much
Of lots of little bells.
In fact, through all our garden plot,
In summer time or spring,
There’s hardly any flower that’s not Just like some other thing!
-Margaret Steele Anderson
